Have now tried to change to new ATT server settings from sbcglobal 3 times. Doesn't work. Either incoming our outgoing mail fails. Talked to ATT on phone (wasn't that fun) and their tech rep in India said told me to put the settings back to the old sbcglobal, and that ATT would have the problem fixed before the final transfer-over date. Anyone have any ideas about how to fix this? What a pain. Here are the new settings I was given:
Incoming: POP 3, pop.att.yahoo.com
Outgoing: SMTP smtp.att.yahoo.com
Incoming port: 995, SSL checked
Ougoing port: 465, SSL checked
Thanks for any light shed on this.

The new ATT Yahoo security settings do not work and crash my Outlook 2007. I have a DSL connection. Anyone else had this experience? Do DSL users have to change settings? Trying to talk to ATT on the phone is useless.

server.pop.att.yahoo.comprotocol:pop3 port 995 secure ssl yes, error number
I am having the SAME problem! They definitely have a problem with this new encryption and it is NOT reversable! I spent 6 HOURS ON THE PHONE WITH AT&T yesterday and found that even their tech support doesn't know what to do or about this! Their level 2 people think it's a hardware problem and won't even acknowledge that it's serious! Does anyone know what to do with this? It goes in and changes your files, almost like a virus of some kind. Microsoft is aware, but if you read their blog, their solution doesn't seem to help. I have Office Outlook 2003, Express, and the ISP is SBC which is now AT&T....it is ALL ON THE FRITZ! I can only use an old computer that is not converted now until I get the laptop ...FIXED? Does anyone have a solution? Again....you CANNOT reverse it back to the SBC...POP/SMTP settings...it doesn't work! Thanks!

I have not changed mine yet and they still work. But earlier today I was at a clients and At&T had "walked" them thru screwing it all for them.

Some of you have spent a lot longer trying to fix this mess. I'm sure you were all told your problem would be escalated for solutions. And I'm sure none of us got solutions.
I'm personally convinced that they're trying to force all users to go to the Web interface so they can up their ad rates.
The new Web interface is horrific. You can't buy your way out of the ad traffice, which slows down the loading and glitches out constantly.
If anyone has found a solution (going back doesn't work) please post ASAP.
The ATT tech help is not honest or forthcoming with advice.
And the self-help tool? Well, it sends mail fine, according to the messages I get. Me? I can't send poop from Outlook or Outlook Express.

I'm also on SBCglobal. I got the new ATT settings to work by turning off my Norton incoming and outgoing email scanning. Apparently Norton does not work with the new kind of ATT server settings. The rest of Norton anti-virus and internet security stuff can be left on, and Norton told me that is enough protection and not to worry about the incoming and outgoing email scan. Straight from Norton's mouth, for what it's worth.

I thought I tried turning off the scan, but it may be I have to reboot to get things working.
I'll try again.
But thank you so much for your reply, Lindsaycasablanca ...

Hello,
I see it has been quite some time since you posted this, but I would like to address the issue further for you or anyone else who might be having the same Outlook problems.
Outlook error '0x800C0133' can also mean that you have too much email in a specific folder, or too much in general. Outlook actually has a limit on how many saved emails it can handle in certain situations. While, multiple reasons can cause the error, there are also multiple methods of resolving the conflict. You can find a list of the solutions on the same page I used here.
If anyone is still having problems, I am pretty good about answering email in my free time. I can be reached here: area52@gtfonow.com
Good luck to everyone,
Regards Bae23,

Please edit your post and remove your email address. You can turn on PM (Private Message) in your profile so people can contact you directly, if that's what you want. But, SPAM BOTS troll this site regularly, looking for exposed email addresses. If you don't want thousands of new SPAMS, get rid of your email address in the post.

Outlook 2003 eMail conductivity
DSL user local network did not know I had a problem till friend did not recieve 17 emails. I thought I had it and could pass it on but I to have Errors"log onto incoming mail server (pop3): Outlook could not connect to the incoming POP3 mail server because the server did not accept your user name or password." "Find outgoing mail server (SMTP): Outlook could not connect to the outgoing mail server (SMTP). The problem could be the server name or port, or your server may not support SSL. Verify your port and SSL settings in More Settings under the Advanced tab.""Send test e-mail massage: The specified server was found, but there was no responce from the server. Please varify that the port and SSL information is correct. To access these settings close this dialog, then click More Settings and click on Advance tab." att.yahoo, gmail, hotmail, support all are not working. I will post when I get an answer that works. This all started on my androidx.

Outlok 2003 for att.net account
When you sign into your att.net account on the yahoo web page, your username is:
username@att.net
you are required to type in the ENTIRE email address, including the @att.net, not simply username
When setting up outlook 2003 and it asks for your username and password, your username is:
username@att.net
you HAVE TO USE the ENTIRE e-mail address exactly like you have to whenh logging in through yahoo.com
I was getting every single one of those error messages listed above and THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM.
Hope this helps y'all =)

Accessing AT&T email with Outlook 2003
Shelleyhenderson1 is absolutely correct! I changed my username to include the "att.net" and it worked! My guess is that by adding that, it helps the server differentiate between Yahoo and AT&T. Thanks so much for the info.

STILL cannot send emails from Outlook 2003 with AT&T's SMTP settings!
My mother has a Dell Latitude D630 running Windows XP Pro, SP3, 32-bit. She has had this computer for 5 years and when she was a former BellSouth customer, her settings worked just fine. She switched to Comcast HSI and she could send and receive emails with no problem. She just got AT&T High Speed Internet, and lo and behold! She can send emails to every other domain EXCEPT her work domain. I have spent multiple hours and several days on the phone with AT&T Tech Support (which is WORTHLESS!!!) and THEY couldn't figure out the problem. They tried adding her work email to her accounts in her email, but the verification email won't come across. They finally came up with some lame ass excuse about the servers being down yesterday and to give it 24-48 hours for them to come back up. I have the computer at work and put it on Google's SMTP server, and it worked just fine with the exception of sending messages from her Gmail account. I need the email to come from her WORK account.
AT&T tried to say that this was a problem with Outlook, but I KNOW for a fact that Outlook isn't the problem. How do I get this issue resolved? My next step is to cancel the AT&T service and get something different. Anyone have any suggestions?

Work-Around for ATT?outlook 2003
Here is my solution as a work-around for this problem. I will say that it is an annoying inconvenience but my Outlook email does operate as it did before AT&T made their server changes.
I am using the new server addresses of "inbound.att.net" and "outbound.att.net" for my POP and SMTP servers, respectively. Ports are 995 and 465, respectively, and boxes are checked for SSL encryption.
Before I open Outlook, I sign on to the "Member Center" at ATT.Net and enter my password. I then minimize the opening profile page and then open Outlook which then runs as it normally should.
The ATT tech support group has not been able to understand that the problem is somewhere at their end. I have 5 non-networked computers running Outlook 2003 and all have developed the same login issues with ATT/Yahoo email since early April. AT&T Tech Support have taken remote control over my computer twice and found that all of my email settings were correct. They refuse to acknowledge that the glitch is at their end. I'd be interested if anyone has found settings at ATT/Yahoo that would mitigate the need to sign on to the Member Center.

Your work around seems to work. Cannot explain, but it works. I have just about lost every ounce of patience with AT&T....reinstalled Outlook...verified all updates and was just about to give up until I saw your post here. THANKS!!

This really does work, why can't ATT just see the LIGHT and fix this. It will also allow the other computers on the same network to work fine as well, now lets see if ATT will find a way to block this.
